'Concussion' Trailer: Will Smith Is NFL Whistleblower Dr. Bennet Omalu

FUSE TV - 'Concussion' Trailer: Will Smith Is NFL Whistleblower Dr. Bennet Omalu

The National Football League has in recent years faced escalating scrutiny about the tremendous risks of hard-hitting, recurring head injuries. Now the movie Concussion, starring Will Smith, is going to tell the true tale of the tenacious Dr. Bennet Omalu, a Nigerian forensic neuropathologist who “single-handedly made the first discovery of CTE [chronic traumatic encephalopathy] in a professional football player and brought awareness to the public." That's from Jeanne Marie Laskas' 2009 GQ article the film is based on; you should 100 percent read it.

So Will Smith's doing an accent, blending into the skin of a real-life man the way he did, stunningly, in 2001's Ali and 2006's The Pursuit of Happyness. And he'll get a third Oscar nomination—the first two were, yup, Ali and Happyness—as guaranteed by that final scene in the Concussion trailer. (And if he doesn't get his first Academy Award, we know Jaden and Willow, the biggest Fresh Prince fans alive, will give it their Midas-touch props.)
